Ximena Arias-Cristobal, a 19-year-old undocumented immigrant, was released from ICE custody after being mistakenly arrested for traffic violations. The Dalton Police Department dropped the charges after reviewing dashcam footage. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called for her deportation, while Arias-Cristobal described harsh conditions in detention. Her attorney is exploring legal options, including a U visa, while her father is pursuing permanent residency, which could potentially benefit Ximena.
